5 Reasons To Avoid Costly Mistakes

Choosing quality lift parts is a worthwhile investment which can save you money in the long run. While it may be tempting to look for a ‘deal', there are true ‘costs’ associated with saving a few dollars by buying lower quality components. 

Here are five reasons why you should always prioritise quality over cost, when it comes to buying lift parts-

Safety concerns: Quality lift parts are designed to meet safety standards and comply with codes, ensuring that they won't fail or malfunction, minimising the risk of accidents and injuries. Meeting these elevator safety standards is a legal requirement of all building owners in NZ. 

Reliability: Quality elevator components are more trustworthy, leading to less downtime and fewer repairs. If a lift breaks down, it becomes an issue for building tenants (potentially even the loss of revenue) and building owners are then responsible for costly emergency or after-hours repairs .

Maintenance Costs: The cost of maintaining an elevator can be high, depending on the system's size and complexity. High-quality lift components require less maintenance and repairs over their lifespan, resulting in lower maintenance costs overall.

Lifespan: Quality elevator components have longer lifespans as well as better warranties, reducing the need for frequent replacements and avoiding additional after-sale costs.

Energy consumption: Some elevator components consume a lot of energy and are therefore more costly to run. The latest technology developments in high-quality elevator components, result in lower energy consumption and therefore lower energy bills over time. Lower quality parts are more likely to have higher energy consumption.

Purchasing cheaper lift components may seem like a good way to save money in the short term. However, in the long run, it can be more expensive. Prioritising safety, quality, and reliability when purchasing elevator parts is crucial. Buying great quality reliable components will have a significant impact on the elevator's safety and performance.
